You need to be responsible about your diet. Nutrition should be balanced and correct.

After all, a person's health depends on what he eats.

Besides, few people know that poor nutrition causes cancer.

Experts note that unhealthy diets lead to this problem in half of the cases, since a lack or excess of nutrients affects the functioning of organs, metabolic processes, and also increases the risk of malignant neoplasms.

Oncologist Ivan Karasev spoke about this, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta .

According to the doctor, with an unbalanced diet, a dose of carcinogen provokes a tumor, which previously could have been ineffective thanks to a proper diet.

He also noted that more than 80% of cancers are associated with carcinogens that enter food during processing, packaging or improper storage.

Products that are grown using large amounts of pesticides, mineral fertilizers, antibiotics and hormones are dangerous.

In addition, Karasev added that food has appeared that our ancestors did not know. This includes industrial canned goods, fast food products, sugar and margarine, as well as food with GMOs. It is advisable to refuse them or reduce their amount in the menu.
